One Breath, One Brushstroke: An Introduction to Intuitive Painting Practice

“One Breath, One Brushstroke” is a workshop rather than a multi-day retreat: a single 2.5-hour session of intuitive painting at Green Gulch Farm Zen Center (Green Dragon Temple) on October 17, 2026. The center’s description spells the practice out — mindful, spontaneous painting with no goal or plan, with the creative process treated as a meditation on witnessing your thoughts as they arise. “Trusting the unknown” is the operative phrase: you work without a set outcome and watch what shows up in your head along the way.

Beyond that, the listing is spare. It prices the session at $70, marks it in person, and names no teacher; there’s no schedule, no materials list, and no statement about who it’s for beyond the word “introduction” in the title. The signup page is the place to check for those details before registering. One clarification for anyone browsing a meditation directory: nothing in the description mentions silence or sitting practice. This is a creative workshop hosted at a Zen center, not a silent retreat.
